Filter by:The study is to collect information on patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP), with a primary focus on the occurrence, duration, and severity of post-prostatectomy incontinence. Data will be collected at multiple time points, allowing for a dynamic understanding of urinary incontinence patterns at post RP.
To compare the efficacy of mini sling against Transobturator tape for surgical management of women with stress urinary incontinence.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of kinesiotaping on activation of abdominopelvic cavity for management of stress urinary incontinence females' patients.
The study drug VMB-100 is an mRNA encoding for IGF-1. It is administered by injection into the urethra sphincter, and taken up by the muscle cells. The IGF-1 acts to promote muscle regeneration in the sphincter, which is expected to improve the function of the sphincter and thereby alleviate incontinence (urinary leakage).
Stress urinary incontinence is the most common female pelvic floor disorder encountered in clinical practice with significant negative impact on quality of life. The prevalence of urinary incontinence increases with aging, and weakness of the pelvic floor muscles contributes to the development of stress urinary incontinence. Given that androgen receptors are expressed throughout the pelvic floor, the anabolic effects of androgens on pelvic floor muscles may provide a therapeutic option in women with stress urinary incontinence. The investigators are conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept trial in older postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence to assess whether testosterone therapy can increase pelvic floor muscles and improve urinary function.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the effects of combined electroacupuncture with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) versus PFMT alone in the treatment of involuntary urine leakage following prostate removal procedure due to prostate cancer. The main question it aims to answer is that whether adding electroacupuncture to PFMT provides extra benefits in relieve urinary leakage and improves patients' quality of life. All participants will be required to perform daily PFMT for 6 weeks using uniformed standards. During the meantime, those assigned to the experimental group will additionally receive electroacupuncture three times per week for 6 weeks, while those in control group will receive sham treatment with same duration. Researchers will compare the urine leakage severity between the two groups to see if adding electroacupuncture can facilitate the recovery of symptom.
To investigate the efficacy of combined laser and HITS treatment for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
Aims: (1) Investigate the efficacy of PelviSense-assisted PFMT compared with PFMT alone for improving SUI symptom severity in women; (2) Compare the cost-effectiveness of the PelviSense device against PFMT alone for treating SUI in women; (3) Explore the views of women regarding the use of the PelviSense device as an adjunct to PFMT and the impacts of the PelviSense device on their lives and well-being. Design and subjects: A sequential, embedded, experimental mixed-methods design, including a randomised controlled trial (RCT) and semi-structured focus groups, will be conducted alongside an economic evaluation. The proposed study will include 142 women with SUI or stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence. Interventions: Women will be randomly allocated to one of two groups (PelviSense or PFMT alone [control]). The PelviSense group will perform PFMT with assistance from the PelviSense device, and the control group will perform PFMT without biofeedback (i.e., PFMT alone). Outcome measures: International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, one-hour pad test, Modified Oxford Scale, EQ-5D-5L, and electronic cost diary. Data analysis and expected results: Statistical analysis will be conducted using analysis of covariance. The PelviSense group is expected to report significant improvements in primary and secondary outcomes compared with the PFMT alone group. The PelviSense group will yield cost savings and result in lower health care utility compared with the PFMT alone group.
Evaluation of the sexual quality of life of women who had a sub-urethral sling several years ago, using a recently validated questionnaire: the PPSSQ (Pelvi-Perineal Surgery Sexuality Questionnaire). This questionnaire is specifically oriented for women who have undergone surgery for stress urinary incontinence or prolapse. It contains questions specific to post-surgical issues that are not present in other sexual quality of life questionnaires. The questionnaire will also be administered to a group of control women who have not had suburethral sling surgery in order to compare their responses to those of women who have had surgery. The hypothesis is that the placement of a suburethral sling for stress urinary incontinence increases the quality of sexual life of the women.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of pelvic floor health education program on urinary incontinence symptoms, knowledge level and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence.
